Previously treated as a marginal product of Classic Maya society, this study shows that Ulua Polychromes are products of the ritual and social life of indigenous societies composed of wealthy farmers engaged in long-distance relationships extending from Costa Rica to Mexico.  Drawing on concepts of agency, practice, and intention, Rosemary Joyce takes a potter's perspective and develops a generational workshop model for innovation by communities of practice who made and used painted pottery in serving meals and locally meaningful ritual practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Tables List of Figures Acknowledgements Introduction Part One: Using Pots Chapter One: Forming Intentions Chapter Two: Feasting Families Chapter Three: Telling Stories Chapter Four: Honoring Ancestors Chapter Five: Burying Pots  Part Two: Understanding Fragments Chapter Six: Collecting Pots Chapter Seven: Making Time Chapter Eight: Finding Places Chapter Nine: Tracing Boundaries Chapter Ten: Picturing Meaning  Epilogue Afterword Bibliography","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210701562199,"sku":"9789004341494","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/painted-pottery-of-honduras-object-lives-and-itineraries-9789004341494","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
